Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Welcome.Main focus is on highlighting some aspects of Google Scholar and focusing on how to get the most out of it by setting up your preferences as a member of Durham University.This is in the main aimed at those with little or no experience of using Google Scholar, but hopefully there will be something new for everyone.There is also part of the session highlighting some other resources which you may or may not be aware of.
  2. QUESTION: Anyone used Google Scholar before?Just to get an idea of where we stand with this session. Layout of session. Latter part of session will look at some free sources available from the wider web which aren’t all included in a Google Scholar search.
  3. Getting the most out of Google.Example in image: if you get the reference, it is far more likely that the little storm troopers will got lots of information telling them about what droids they are not looking for.Google Scholar does cope better with typing in a sentence or question than many academic databases, but as professional researchers it is not the best way of searching and you should be trying more appropriate techniques.
  4. ASK QUESTIONS FIRSTThese key questions are partly about effective web searching but also relevant to any database.Para 0: Ask attendees (very basic question):Why do you search the web? [vastness, free, convenient]2) What do you commonly use? [Google]Para 1: Ask attendees (very basic question):3) Do you favour breadth over precision? [Reassurance]4)Do you refine down an initial large set of results? Or are you happy to navigate large sets of results?5) Do you start without knowing precisely the object of their search? Aim to find whatever may prove significant to their research? - all articles, specific article (e.g. all local cinema listings, specific cinema)Para 3: Ask attendees (very basic question):6) Do you just type in a question, or do you try and identify keywords and different search techniques…7) Do you use the results you have already found to try new combinations of search terms, refocus your search etc?

  6. Reason 1 for not typing in a sentence – order and proximity of terms affects search results. Inclusion of unnnecessary words and stopwords could potentially affect results unintentionally.
  7. [animations on slide]GOOGLE. Shows use of different search tips to narrow down from over 12 million results, to 8 results.Phrase searching: reduces number of results by 90% (25% in June 2013)Additional keywords: Focusses search, reduces by 40% (75% in June 2013)Exclude results: filter out 99% of resultsLimit to UK academic sites: Filters out 90% of results…. Good indicator of range of content covered by Google (note, not perfect as by doing this are filtering out academic blogs, most news coverage etc.)Faceted search: Searching a particular part of a document to add focus. In title of document (in part reliant on authors following web standards).
  8. I can give you plenty of hints today about searching Google and Google Scholar.You can go and read Google’s search help pages (and then them read them again next month because they may have changed)... But you will never completely be sure exactly what is happening with your search, and why some results are “more relevant” than others.(With many of our academic databases you can’t either, but we might be able to get a better idea when we come to buy/negotiate, so not as secretive or as potentially biased as Google, because Google bases much of its income stream on how its search function is used).
  9. AND – the more search terms you include, logically the fewer the number of results as results have to mention all terms.Reason 2 for not typing in a sentence - stop words – Google ignores many terms in searches you might enter, meaning entering a sentence or question is often just a waste of time typing… can include: HE, SHE, AT, THE, A, ZERO, DESCRIBED, UPWARDS, LEAST, THIRD (refer to handout).NOT – be careful, may remove results which may have been useful and just happened to mention a term in passing, or in reference to something elseOR - broadens your search
  10. Phrase searching – as seen, can have a significant effect. Doesn’t always work (even though Google promote use on their own help pages) but is much better now than was a few years agoIntitle – does rely on authors of web pages coding their site properly, and the term you are searching for being the key focus of the document (and not just one of several focuses) but can massively reduce number of results.Site limitation - I personally find this useful, but if you wish to search different domains/sites I find it easier to run separate searches, especially given different terminology between countries/regions (eg retardation used far more recently in US healthcare terminology than in the UK, whilst homicide is obviously a US term so if limiting to UK sites will be of less use).Synonyms and related terms – useful but difficult to always identify what terms are being searched.
  11. ADVANCED SEARCHINGDEMO: Go to preferences first to make sure fully set up for ConneXions and Endnote. Then display advanced search options (click on down arrow in search box).with all of the words electron with the exact phrase "liquid helium" author: platzmanExplain citations, Come back to ‘versions’ in subsequent slideRelated articles are based on ‘relevance’ and ‘how similar’ i.e. use own algorithm which we’re not party too. Maximum number 101Citation and key word alerts – ‘alert’ in citation, ‘alert’ after searchingConneXions worksEndnote link – change preferences where necessary
  12. Mention surprises you might receive with alerts
  13. Normal alert…

  15. Example in following screenshots
  16. Results in ascending order (Web of Knowledge (34), Chicano/Historical Abstracts on Ebsco (37), Science Direct (1,044), JSTOR (16,137)… Google Scholar… about 124,000 results
  17. Specific example not just KWGS = 47WOS = 12
  18. Reasons for why so many more results…Open Access Repositories – Do you all know what they are?Institutions attempting to keep a draft copy of every article produced by their academics for publication in scholarly journals. The database of these final draft copies is then freely available.Items from these institutional repositories are sometimes ‘harvested’ and grouped together by subject in secondary repositories

  21. Depends what you’re after – may not be too many if doing a broad search or if good with KW searchingDoesn’t index all databases – don’t think you’ve searched everything. Not good for primary sources e.g. newspaper articles (unless books) and only just starting coverage of ETHoS (even though freely available) from August 2012.http://ethostoolkit.cranfield.ac.uk/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=10 Inconsistent level of bibliographic information– sometimes basic citation sometimes more. Also doesn’t highlight theses as theses but books Although not all databases are consistent and abstracts often unavailable for older articles or theses appear as books on library catalogue. Less developed search options and ability to limit searches- Compare ability to refine searches and reorder results in some of the major databases such as WOK – more of an academic setupSee example comparison on following slide…

  33. Background... Late 90’s through to late naughties, various sites which tried to “make order” of the web. BUBL, Infomine etc.Social bookmarking services increasingly more prevalent from the mid-naughties - initially as personal, mobile bookmarking services - then as ‘shared bibliography’ services - various sites such as pinterest, diggit, tumblr etc.
  34. ‘library history in nineteenth century Britain’Point is that no one search engine will give you the same results – see next slideSuggestion that on the indexable web there are over 25 billion pages on over 100 million sites. Whether these are accurate or not doesn’t matter – the numbers are huge.3% or less of first page results the same across top engines 50-60% of searches convert to a first page click. Issuescom or .co.uk? The number of results that you get will differ on a regular basis. Also sub-Googles e.g. blog, images,Google bombs can influence results e.g. I’m feeling lucky French Military Victories= page mocked up to look like did you mean French Military DefeatsWikipedia is ranked highly

  39. Hidden web Even the best search engines can access only about 16% of the available information on the World Wide Web. Therefore 84% of the information is excluded. That 84% has become known as the Invisible Web. Invisible Web is 500 times larger than the Surface Web. 95% of the Invisible Web is publicly accessible information. Content found in databases – Database content that is dynamically generated as the result of a query cannot be found by general-purpose search engines. Example: ERIC database, Library catalogs. Subscription database content – Fee-based database content is only accessible to those who have subscribed. (Many libraries offer their members free access to subscription databases.) Examples: EBSCOhost databases, LexisNexis Academic. Information offered on very content rich websites – General-purpose search engines only partially index very large (deep) websites. The parts of the website that they do not index become part of the Invisible Web. Examples: Library of Congress, U. S. Census Bureau. Real time content – Information about events currently taking place may not yet be indexed by general-purpose search engines. Formats – Information occurs in various formats, some of which are not indexed by general-purpose search engines. It also takes time for new formats to appear in search engines. Example: podcastSites requiring login authorization – These sites require users to login or identify themselves as having the right to access and use content. Examples: Blackboard, membership sites.
